The best word of encouragement one can give to somebody who goes on a
path that leads to nowhere is simply to tell him gently to stop wasting
time.

Redefining mathematics at such level is a simply dead end which I tried
to warn Marshall.

As a proof, check the below comment on my part concluding the
discussion...

I guess we have reached the end of discussing your theory...I can not
really follow you onto unicorns and horses starting from relationship
between math and science.. Nice exchaning with you though...

OTOH. I have seen Marshall not hesistating calling me a crank...with
no supporting evidence...So who's the fraud?
